Bone based animation in Blitz3d/Blitz3d SDK?

Hello again,

More Blitz3d questions :)

Does Blitz3d support bone based animation? If not, then how are character models animated?

Also, how straight forward is the art pipeline? Specifically, what is involved in getting models and level data in a format which B3D can utilize?

yes blitz3d does support boned animation and upto 4 bones per vertex.
Do a search for blitz3d pipeline, its a exporter for max6, very good.

Thanks for the quick response! Does blitz3d pipeline work with current versions of 3dsmax?

What other tools are out there for working with B3D?

nah, 3dsmax sdk was rewritten with 32bit and 64bit versions. Make 3dsmax 6 - 8 plugins incompatible with 9.
